Why plural?

Please, keep indentation for the registers the same. Also would be nice to have
them sorted by offset.

Assign them directly in the definition block above.

Blank line. Always make guard()() to be visible (by grouping it separately
from the other pieces of code).

Wouldn't be better to define 0x81 with meaningful name?

Can this mess up the raw read? If so, also needs a mutex to be held.

Same Q.

Unneeded casting, can name parameter 'dev' above.
